Coppercreek has begun making and using alternative fuel. After collecting used vegetable oil from many of our local restaurants last summer, Craig spent the early part of this winter getting all of the pieces together to process biodiesel. He made his very first batch last week, and IT WORKED!! The first place he used it was our riding lawn mower. The mower ran and DIDN'T blow up. He then tried it in his pick up truck. It smells a little like french fries, but other than that, runs as well as it ever has. Craig is planning to collect more oil and make more bio-diesel through the spring and summer and hopefully, we will be able to significantly reduce our diesel consumption and do a little to help the environment at the same time.
If you want to know more about bio-diesel, Craig has lots of websites he would love to share :)!
Happy Tuesday.
